A Long Journey – part 2

Florence to Naples: having learned our lesson yesterday with the whole getting thrown of the intercity express train debacle we had decided to cough up the extra 10 euros to secure a seat on the Intercity Express from Florence to Naples – not only did this mean the trip would take under 3 hours (as distinct from 7 on the regional trains) but it meant we could relax in comfortable seats, in a quiet, air conditioned carriage, be offered a coffee and a snack and travel at 300km per hour through the country side. Worth it! Leaving the Florentine hills and heading towards Rome we were travelling through farmland (Olives, Grapes and Corn largely) with scattered hill top villages. We had a brief stop in Rome and then on to Naples – arrive there about 15-20 minutes late.Meer informatie
